The omission in my CV was a trifling slip of the pen

Nov 04, 2017 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
The headlines on the front page of the Friday edition of the Kaieteur News screamed: “New GECOM Chairman misled President on CV.” That by itself and bereft of context carries an unsavory connotation. The use of the word ‘misled’ connotes an evil intent on my part which, I am sure, is the result of misreporting by your reporter.
I did concede, at the press interview, that my Curriculum Vitae, hastily written for the first time in three decades, did not contain the word “acting”. I explained that the omission was a lapsus calami, a trifling slip of the pen, and unworthy of further discourse. This storm in a teacup could best be described as de minimis.
A publication of this letter with like or sufficient prominence would cure your publication of any evil intent inimical to my character. I abide by the old saying “a half-truth is a whole lie.”
Justice James Patterson
Chairman
Guyana Elections Commission
